Young Boy's Dream

I walked down to the corner mart

To get myself a slice and coke

Thoughts so big inside my head

But my parents swore I’d end up broke

My favorite band on the radio

Telling me I should let go

But I don’t think so

(Just get back to the studio)

It was in my eyes before I spoke

It was in my heart before I woke

Your picture saved on my screen

Oh how does a young boy dream?

How does a young boy-

It’s death or it’s life

Everyone tries to stay between

Scared what you’ll find in your head

Is that what you mean?

The stories they told

The world opens and devours you

Guard every hope because you only have a few

The songs we sang breathed life in us

Before anyone even noticed

My heart was full as I said

"I’ll play these songs until I’m dead"

You’re never as alone as you will feel

Don’t ever let them take the wheel

The doubt may come but it will go

You only have to make it to the next show

Just make it to the next show

It’s death or it’s life

Everyone tries to stay between

Scared what you’ll find in your head

Is that what you mean?

The stories they told

The world opens and devours you

Guard every hope because you only have a few

I’m not scared anymore

It’s the one promise I made to myself

It won’t go away

Don’t let it go away
